Towns, a new messaging app built on blockchain, officially launched on October 15. It promises users more privacy and control over their conversations.
Big Support, Big Ambitions
Backed by $25.5 million from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Towns was created by Ben Rubin, the guy behind apps like Houseparty and Meerkat. Rubin’s goal is to set a new bar for safe, secure digital conversations using blockchain tech.
How Towns Works
Towns uses the River Protocol, which makes sure that your messages are private and secure. It runs on Ethereum’s layer-2 Base network, giving users full control of their data. This means you own everything you share—unlike with most other messaging apps.
What Sets Towns Apart
Towns makes sure you own your data. It’s as easy to use as familiar platforms like Discord and Slack, but it gives you more privacy and security. Blockchain technology ensures your info stays safe, without needing a middleman.
Changing How We Talk Online
There are other blockchain messaging apps, but Towns is different. It offers on-chain features you can customize, letting you control how you interact online. Towns is also the first app to offer permissionless group chats, giving you full control over how you communicate.
